which is better for database interfaces – tcl or java?

[John Bonnie]

Hello all,

We have some interfaces that have database calls in them.  For example an adt comes in via tcp/ip, gets parsed and some fields from it are stored in a database.  For doing the storing and retrieving which is better – tcl or java?  (we’re currently using tcl)

I’d continue with tcl.  You can look into tclODBC if you don’t have the database solution from Cloverleaf.

Hi Brandon,

Do you run Cloverleaf on Windows by any chance? If so are you able to use Tclodbc on x64? We’ve been using tclodbc for a few years but now we are upgrading to Cloverleaf 6.2 and it runs in x64 bit process, so tclodbc doesn’t load anymore.

Thanks,

Sergey
